I'm a Villainess but So Popular Chapter 113

Episode 113

In a sense of urgency, I made an urgent request to Professor Frain.

Professors were also embarrassed by the sudden situation, but they quickly grasped the current situation and began to respond.

“You didn’t want to show up to the students, did you?”

Cassius nodded at Professor Frain’s words.

“Yes. If they find out we’re here, they’ll attack us in the palace.”

“Okay, if it’s an unnoticeable place…… would you like to go to the western spire?”

Students did not come to the high western spire with many stairs.

The road to the western spire was also very remote, so it seemed like a good place to travel secretly.

“Yes, I think it’ll be fine.”

He put his finger around his mouth and nodded.

“There probably aren’t any students going there, but I’ll watch with magic just in case. You can hide in the western spire in the meantime.”

“Thank you.”

Cassius thanked him by wiping the blood from his cheeks.

“I’ll have to treat you. Just a moment, please.”

“Professor Frain, I’ll do it.”

A professor of magic medicine wearing glasses brought ointment and bandages and cured Cassius and my wounds.

He could have used healing magic, but Cassius did not.

Due to the transformation magic, his mana was already exhausted.

And in the current situation, we had to save as much mana as possible.

Just then the door of the teacher’s office opened, and the principal of the Academy came in.

“Miss Spade, and the Prince. I heard the story roughly.”

“Principal.”

With his long, winding brown hair hanging down, he looked at us with his black eyes that looked calm.

“We will do everything we can to protect our students. Includes Miss Spade and the Prince.”

“Principal, the palace will use the monster that broke in last time to attack. We need to be prepared for it.”

He spoke to the principal in an urgent voice.

“They’re going to send us incomparable numbers from what invaded at the time. Each of them is very strong. Only very strong light and heat can kill the monsters.”

I added to what Cassius’s said.

“And the monster can go through the wall. You can temporarily stop it with massive defensive magic, but you won’t be able to keep it going. Consequently, the best way to defend is to use light and heat.”

“I see.”

The principal answered with a worried voice.

“We don’t have much time. It’s only a matter of time before the Academy gets attacked.”

The principal was right.

For Iker, who wants to create a world where only the emperor can use magic, the presence of 7 Imperial Families will be like a thorn in the eye.

‘’So, as soon as the coup took place, he would have tried to capture the Housekeepers in Noble State Field.’

The seven successors were likewise equally threatening for him.

And all of the successors were all in the Academy.

Besides, Iker, who tries to rake in other people’s mana as much as possible, couldn’t help but hit the Academy, where people with more than average mana gathered in the empire.

‘He might already be expecting Cassius and me to be here.’

Various circumstances were saying that the Academy would be attacked in the near future.

“Professor Kira, please go with the guards and put up a shield. Professor Frain and Professor Gionon should also go and check the shields.”

The principal said softly in an unwavering voice.

“Professor Narai is well versed in explosive magic, so I hope you’re at the front line. Is that okay?”

At first, he was sitting in a corner, but Professor Narai, who came near the table, answered without hesitation.

“That’s okay. Those who can use light and heat magic, please leave it to me.”

“Then I’ll trust you and leave it to you. Professor Lewen, I want you to make some gunpowder.

Kwa-aang!

At that very moment, the ground shook with a roar.

Several professors stumbled and lost their balance, and the screams of the students were heard small from downstairs.

“What?”

A familiar voice rang out in the hall when everyone was looking around in surprise at the sudden situation.

[For the people of the Tigris, full of the protection of the golden tiger.]

“Iker?”

It was definitely Iker’s voice.

A voice that puts tremendous pressure on each word and brings the listener to the bottom of the abyss.

[If you want to save your life, listen carefully.]

It was communication magic.

It was clear that he was sending his warning to the entire country.

‘Is this why he collected so much mana?’

Communication magic itself consumes a lot of mana.

From the context, it seemed he used magic all over the country.

If so, it meant that Iker was now consuming the same mana as my blue flame magic.

I wondered how he killed the emperor, but now I understand.

‘The amount of mana collected through the monster is so terrifying that even the emperor can’t deal with it.’

Come to think of it, the last monster I encountered was faster and stronger than any other monster I’ve ever seen.

I couldn’t imagine how many people the monster would have killed and how many mana it would have taken.

[The former Emperor, Archia Tigris, is dead.]

No one but Iker spoke.

A silence heavier than a rock dominated the space.

[As of today, I proclaim that I am the Emperor of the Tigris Empire, Iker Tarcadian Meleneus Cripatua Tigris.]

“That’s ridiculous……!”

There were cries of anger everywhere.

[Facing the imperial regime is a felony that even the golden tiger who protects the empire cannot have mercy. From now on, all who stand up to me will be slashed for treason.]

The voices of confused students hummed in.

Everyone seemed shocked by the words, “slashed for treason.”

[There is no exception to those who do not recognize me as a ruler because of their loyalty to the former Emperor.]

In fact, it was no different from saying that it would be a dictatorship.

[For those who give their allegiance to me, I will give you unlimited glory and reward. I have the power to do that.]

After saying that, Iker paused his speech.

Everyone was paying attention even in the silence.

Not to miss a word Iker says.

[I give assignments to those who want to be loyal to me. I will give promised rewards to those who achieve this task.]

‘Task?’

I frowned and listened to the speech.

[Give me the Yerine Spade.]

The moment I heard my name, I felt the sensation of my heart sinking to my toes.

[She has purple hair and eyes of different colours. The right is red while the left is purple. And she often uses the blue flame magic.]

“You bastard! I’ll kill you!”

Cassius shouted in an angry voice.

However, his voice was not heard well.

‘Offering me………?’

Now the whole empire would be after me.

Iker, the monster, his aides, and all those who accept the threat will be after me.

[And to the successors of the 7 Imperial Families. The Housekeepers have already been captured. Their treatment depends on what you do in the future.]

It’s so vicious. How could humans be so vicious?

[Choose whether you’re going to lose your parents and your own lives, or if you’re going to sacrifice Yerine Spade and enjoy infinite wealth and power.]

I felt nauseous.

My eyes were dim.

[Well, let’s get it over.]

Iker’s voice stopped and the storm-like speech ended.

It was scary.

But the emotion more intense than fear was anger.

“Let’s get ready for combat right now.”

The principal walked out slowly and spoke in a calm voice.

“A case like the last attack should never happen again in the Academy.”

The principal’s eyes rested on me as I was looking around the professors.

Then a clear and clear voice rang out.

“I have no intention of submitting to anyone who wants to hurt them.”

Professor Frain shouted at the principal’s words.

“That’s right. We have no intention of serving an emperor who is against our spirit to train wizards to spread good influence.”

Everyone nodded at his words.

I looked at the back of such professors.

“Cassius.”

I called his name quietly.

As I turned my head, his clear golden eyes looked at me.

While everyone was busy talking, Cassius held my hand without a word.

It was warm.

***

A cold, fleshy night breeze blew.

The white cape of the man leaning against the leg railing fluttered in the wind. The man standing still as if he were dead felt as if he was facing a reaper.

But unlike the reaper, he was wearing a white cape.

Anyone who saw the dismal scene would tremble.

“Oh, my God.”

The man uttered quietly.

His eyes were on his chest.

The necklace on the man’s neck was shining.

He turned the necklace three times in his hand, and a harsh voice came out like an animal growling.

[Are you ready?]

“Yes, there is no mistake.”

The sharp eyes of the man who answered were directed at the mountain, which looked black.

The mountain, hidden in darkness and barely visible, looked like a black mass, giving the impression of a wriggling monster.

[You’re sure about that, right?]

A voice of strange anxiety and annoyance hastened.

“Yes.”

The man didn’t bother to add another word.

The shorter the words, the better.

The more he said, the less likely he was to offend this picky master.

[Yeah, I’ll trust you for now.]

“……”

He still seemed to have a problem with his mind.

However, the man did not necessarily add reassuring words to the owner of the voice.

[You know better what happens when a mistake happens, don’t you?]

The man bit his lips casually.

Bite it so hard that blood seeps out a little bit.

He felt a fishy taste in his tongue.

It was slightly salty and bitter.

“Of course.”

He thought that the voice from his mouth did not seem to belong to him.

It’s ridiculous, but it really was.

[Perfectly. Do it, by all means.]

The voice from the necklace disappeared at the end of the sentence.

The necklace, which had maintained a gentle glow, lost its light and returned to its original form.

A fishy scent of blood was felt in his mouth.

‘I’m sick.’

It was a smell that he would get tired of when tomorrow is coming.
